Q 4Is there any Local or National Plan/Policy related to Co‐deployment/Co‐habitation of FOCs along Highway or Railway Routes?If yes, please provide details
Bangladesh At present, Bangladesh Railway (BR) has total 2421 km Underground optical fiber cable (OFC)along rail route.
Another 1000 km Underground optical fiber cables (OFC) will be laid within 3 /4 years. BR has NTTN license issued by BTRC (Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory
Commissions) and using this license, BR is conducting Nationwide TelecommunicationTransmissions Network (NTTN) business.
India • No Policy. Committee of Secretary (CoS) is Drafting a Policy. Under Finalization.
Korea Co‐deployment of fiber‐optic cables along Railway is provided for under the phasedcommunication circuit Establishment plan which aims to equip 4934 km of railways withDWDM by 2020.
Communication traffic required for Railway operation analyzed to form a nationwide double‐ring backbone network.
Note:1. DWDM (Dense wavelength Division Multiplexing) : Equipment capable of transmitting data up
to 400Gbps at 10Gbps per wavelength by dividing in to multiple wavelength bands.2. Communications traffic: Amount of all information such as voice, data, and video transmitting
through the communication networks.

Q 10Challenges/Constraints of Co‐deployment/Co‐habitation ‐□ Coordination among Entities □ Lack of Legal Coverage□ Planning Not Easy □ Benefits Not Clear/Lack of Awareness □ Financial Costs More than Benefits □ Entities Not interested/Convinced□ Damage to FOCs during Construction □ Safety Hazard □ Security Hazard□ Other(s), □ Provide Suggestions
Bangladesh Damage to FOCs during Construction.
India Benefits are not clear, Safety and Security Hazard In India, draft for a common duct policy for inter‐city and intra‐city for various utilities
is yet to be made. As such so far India does not has much experience. It is just the start. Safety of long and wider duct is a big problem. Sharing of cost by the infrastructure providers and CDA is a yet to be discussed by CoS.
Railway Feedback
Korea Coordination among agencies/ entities, lack of legal coverage, planning is not easy, main Infrastructure Entities not interested/convinced,
Suggestions:‐Government taking the initiative is important. That is, the government should take the initiative to provide legal grounds, formulate mid/long‐term plans, and support step by step implementation.
Myanmar Damage to fiber‐ optic cables during construction
Proper installation methodology should be used during the construction
Philippines Coordination among agencies/ entities, lack of legal coverage, planning is not easy, benefits are not clear/ lack of awareness, damage to fibre‐optic cables during construction
Damage to fiber‐optic cables during construction. In PNR’s experience the fiber optic cablesthat is laid within the RoW were sometimes being damage by DPWH constructions.
Russia Lack of legal coverage, damage to fiber‐optic cables during construction, safety hazard, security hazard, safety hazard
Thailand Coordination among agencies/ entities, planning is not easy, benefits are not clear/ lack of awareness

Korea Only within the country does not reach the border.
In 1996, the 52th ESCAP “Infrastructure Ministerial Meeting” adopted a resolution stating,“We will make top priority for the restoration of the Railway on the peninsula (TKR; Trans‐Korean Railway)”
TKR route 1: total length of 945 km through Busan‐Seoul‐Kaesong‐Pyongyang‐Shinujiu has aproblems of crossing the border.
With the inter‐Korean summit in June 2000, the reconstruction work for the Gyeongui Linewas initiated and a railway on the Korean peninsula was connected. During thisreconnections, fiber‐optic cables were jointly deployed along the reconstructed GyeonguiLine linking Dorasan and Gaeseong
